Vallis Alps premiere new track “Oceans”

By:Jack Gobbe / 6 September 2017

Sydney electronica duo Vallis Alps have released their brand new single, “Oceans.” The smooth, lively single follows the independent release of the band’s second EP, “Fable”, only months ago in March 2017. “Oceans” finds the duo add yet another stellar track to the likes of “Fading”, “East” and “Run”, and exhibits the group’s knack for vibrant sounds.

As if the production itself wasn’t enough to love, the track additionally touches on the ever-vital discourse surrounding femininity and the fight for equality. Accordingly, band members Parissa Torif and David Ansari elaborate that –

“Oceans was born from a conversation we had about Tahirih, a 19th century woman who fought and died for the emancipation of women in Iran. It led us to think about the daily sacrifices that women make for the fight for equality and we wanted to write a song about carrying that weight and thriving in spite of it. As Oceans formed, it became both a celebration and an expression of admiration for those figures in our lives and in history that are examples of this.”

This track only adds to the duo’s hectic year thus far, following their slew of thirty-five sold out headline shows throughout the U.S., U.K., Canada and Australia along with several festivals around the world in which they debuted the “Fable” EP live. Nonetheless, the group shows no sign of stopping this year, and can be seen at the following dates.
